HATOFUL BOYFRIEND! it’s a dating simulator (which is a genre of videogames typified and mostly created by Japanese creators where in the MC is given the opportunity to date/fuck/sometimes murder multiple different Romantic Options. They are usually in the form of Visual novels, which is mostly a reading experience where you make choices in dialogue options which allows you to affect the RO’s interest in you (sound familiar?) and quite a number of them are in fact pornographic.) where in the Romantic Interests, and in fact everyone except the MC (who is human and lives in a cave, btw.) are birds of some stripe. Most of them are pigeons. One’s a partridge.
ANYWAY. this game took the internet BY STORM one fine day, and has in fact been Let’s Played by the finest of Youtubers such as JackSepticeye, Markiplier, and several others I can’t think of right this moment. It’s a silly, fun little game that is quite intentionally mind-fucky.
closes maw
HORSE PRINCE DATING SIM. hahahahah omg, I loved seeing people freak out about this.
(if you can’t tell, Dating Sims is one of my Autistic Hyperfixations)
I laughed so hard omg

I’m sitting here staring at my document and have the same mental feeling as when you try and press two magnets against each other by the wrong sides. It’s absolutely awful because ALL I HAVE WANTED TO DO TODAY is work on it.
June is scuffed, I’ve barely worked on it at all. BUT! I’ve got another Accountabili-Buddy, so that’s helping to keep my morale up!
JUNE GOALS PROGRESS:
- Finish Chapter One of Phoenix Rising - Oddly enough, I’ve not only got to answer questions on it now, but also people have been asking questions on Tumblr too!
- Get posts on the Nascent Souls Tumblr up to July. - DID NOT succeed in this. I just straight up have not had the time.
- Get the game to a point where I can ACTUALLY POST AN UPDATED DEMO, GODDAMMIT. – I wish we could post gifs here, because I would post one of sadness crying on the floor.
- Bonus at work, because I can’t afford rent anymore if I don’t. They raised our rent by 300$ and I’m the only earner. - I did not bonus this month. I’m… actually really worried about that. But not gonna get into it here.
- Keep up with my Accountabili-Buddies so that we all make progress on our games. @RascaldeesV2 @Phenrex @eveelution . Also looking for more accounta-bilibuddies too! Apply now!
Progress on my 2024 goals
- Complete Phoenix Rising - not even close to on track for this one.
- Begin Editing Phoenix Rising - or this one
- Participate in at least 1 game jam - I’m beginning to think this is a pipe dream for me
- Complete at least 1 game jam - definitely thinking this is a pipe dream
- Learn Spanish enough to be able to use it at work (earn a $2 raise by doing this) - I lost my streak and I am now at 6 day streak. Yay.
